Can somebody put it on YewTube? Sounds like a keeper. Feminism is behind all this misandry and male-shaming that in turn is behind paedohysteria.

As a gay man I have rarely agreed with Ann Widdecombe on any topic, but have to agree with her arguement on last nights Newsnight on BBC2. She put forward her belief that those accused of sexual crimes,(who are mainly men)should be granted anonymity. until the point of being charged. The woman who spoke in opposition to this view,(identified as a rape victim from the 1980's and an activist against rape) expressed a view of men that really startled me, and, by her expression Ann also. This woman would appear to believe that men are a less emotionally developed varient of the human species than women, and expressed her view that men who are falsely accused of sexual crimes are "not bothered much" by this because "they go back to work" and I suppose, try to rebuild their lives. She appeared quite sincere in this bizarre belief and Ann was not allowed the opportunity to respond to her. This woman will probally be unchallenged in her views and even applauded for them, one shudders to contemplate the fate of any man who expressed such views about women. On another blog one contributor described such women as 'Feminazi', after watching last night, I fear he may be right, they appear to view men as a sub-species in human evolution.
If you can catch this on BBc iplayer it is worth watching.
